Abstract

A hydroprocessing catalyst has been developed. The catalyst is a unique crystalline ammonia transition metal molybdate material. The hydroprocessing using the crystalline ammonia transition metal molybdate material may include hydrodenitrification, hydrodesulfurization, hydrodemetallation, hydrodesilication, hydrodearomatization, hydroisomerization, hydrotreating, hydrofining, and hydrocracking.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A crystalline ammonia transition metal molybdate material having the formula:
(NH 4 ) 2 .(NH 3 ) x (H 2 O) 2-x MMO y O z

where ‘M’ is a metal selected from Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and mixtures thereof; ‘x’ varies from greater than 0 to 2; ‘y’ varies from 1.5 to 3, z is a number which satisfies the sum of the valences of [(M+y)+2]; the material having a x-ray powder diffraction pattern showing peaks at the d-spacings listed in Table A:

2. The crystalline ammonia transition metal molybdate material of claim 1 wherein the crystalline ammonia transition metal molybdate material is present in a mixture with at least one binder and wherein the mixture comprises up to 25 wt % binder.

3. The crystalline ammonia transition metal molybdate material of claim 2 wherein the binder is selected from the group consisting of silicas, aluminas, and silica-aluminas.

4. The crystalline ammonia transition metal molybdate material of claim 1 wherein M is nickel or cobalt.

5. The crystalline ammonia transition metal molybdate material of claim 1 wherein M is nickel.

6. The crystalline ammonia transition metal molybdate material of claim 1 wherein the crystalline ammonia transition metal molybdate material is sulfided.

7. A method of making a crystalline ammonia transition metal molybdate material having the formula:
(NH 4 ) 2 .(NH 3 ) x (H 2 O) 2-x MMO y O z

where ‘M’ is a metal selected from Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and mixtures thereof; ‘x’ varies from greater than 0 to 2; ‘y’ varies from 1.5 to 3, z is a number which satisfies the sum of the valences of [(M+y)+2]; the material having a x-ray powder diffraction pattern showing peaks at the d-spacings listed in Table A:

the method comprising:
(a) forming a reaction mixture containing NH 3 , H 2 O, and sources of M and Mo;
(b) adjusting the pH of the reaction mixture to a pH of from about 8 to about 10; and
(c) recovering the crystalline ammonia transition metal molybdate material.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the recovering is by filtration, centrifugation or evaporation of solvent.

9. The method of claim 7 further comprising adding a binder to the recovered crystalline ammonia transition metal molybdate material.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the binder is selected from the group consisting of aluminas, silicas, and alumina-silicas.

11. The method of claim 7 further comprising sulfiding the recovered crystalline ammonia transition metal molybdate material.

12. A hydroprocessing conversion process comprising contacting a feed with a catalyst at hydroprocessing conversion conditions to give at least one product, the catalyst comprising: a crystalline ammonia transition metal molybdate material having the formula:
(NH 4 ) 2 .(NH 3 ) x (H 2 O) 2-x MMO y O z
